TO KEEP FACE IN CONDITION

Quality of Towel Used Is an Impor ¬

Tho same amount of care should hegiven to tho face brush It must berinsed in hot water and put on theoutside window ledge to dry A goodcamels hair face brush which Isneither too soft nor too harsh can bepurchased for 1 and if properlycared for will last for years Onco ortwice a week a good skin food shouldbe applied with massage to preventwrinkles this is done after the scrub-bing

Color Being Universally Made Up IntoElaborate Evening

Gowns

Green Is to bo a most popular shadethis winter and in fact there isgrave danger of its being too popularfor tho fashionable shades are all onthe vivid order and also wero seenIn considerable number last winterFor tho moment it is the color mostin demand and both in tho emeraldand peacock shades is mado up intothe smartest and most elaborate evengowns The embroidery on the material worked In silk and with coloredstones is most elaborate and effective but must be most carefully car-ried out In order to avoid any toostartling or extreme effects Just howto accomplish those two so widelyseparate Ideas requires great skilland In fact a green gown modeledafter the latest designs requires theskill of an artist In dress

when massaging tho face to treat theface only Possibly they manipulatethe throat slightly but that is all

Another Important spot for massaging is around the cars and down tothe edge of the shoulder Here it isthat lurk tho first signs of advancingage yet strange to say it is tho spotmost often neglected though muchcan be done to prevent wrinkles andthat withered look by careful manipu-lation

DANGERS OF DRINK IN YOUTH

In ¬Rigidlyegory of Tobacco

By II W Wiley M D Chief of theChemistryAtwater experi-

ments¬

has shown that a certainamount of alcohol can be oxidizeddally by tho average healthy Individ ¬

ual There is another question how¬

over aside from the possibility of ox ¬

idizing alcohol which must be con ¬

sidered In this connection viz thatas long as alcohol Is not oxidized itacts in a specifically deleterious wayupon certain tissues of tho body Thocoagulate ¬

as the cells of the body which go tomake up its organs and upon whichthe functions of such organs dependare largely composed of albuminousmatter This fact should not be for ¬

gotten For these reasons I entirelyagree with Dr Dana in believing thatalcohol should bo rigidly excludedfrom thq diet of early life If used atall it should go in the category of to-bacco coffee and tea

There is a general impression I donot know how wisely founded that thomoderate use of sound old beer winewhisky brandy and rum is helpfulrather than deleterious to health Thedanger always is in exceeding the lim ¬

it of moderation and the same istrue I believe in regard to the useof coffee tea and tobacco

What effect would bo produced up-on the human animal If these stimu-lants

¬

were banished it is Impossibleto foresee Mankind has lived on theearth for many thousands of yearsaccording to historic accounts duringwhich time the use of fermented bev-erages has been quite universal and

bevJragesTheyImpression as a part of his environ ¬

mont upon the human animal as he Istoday

Whether that Impression has beenfor good or bad Is a matter uponwhich wide variance of opinion mayjustly be held

Until within a few years I havebeen opposed to forced prohibition Ifman should never be subjected to anytempatlon his stamina of characterand power of resistance to evil wouldundoubtedly be diminished Thiswould bo a very sad condition of af-fairs If at the same time the evil It¬

self were not obliterated-In the last few years I have been so

impressed with the evils of the exces ¬

sive use of alcoholic beverages of allkinds that I feel at times as if unl ¬

versal prohibition could be nothingless than a blessing At the samotime I believe that tho very moderatouse of the very best old fermentednnd distilled beverages may be con ¬

ducive to health and longevity If thisuse is not begun until the formativeperiod of life is completed

TRIBUTE TO ST LOUIS JUDGE

and if kept nothing more is doneIn the matter This socalled Pol¬

lard plan has attained wide accept ¬

ance being now used in several for-eign countries After Judge Pollardhad addressed the congress his timehaving been doubled on motion of aFrepch delegate a declaration wasframed which was signed by prac¬

tically every delegate present expressing gratification at the recogni ¬

tion of his method in statute law byGreat Britain Vermont U S A andVictoria Australia and declaring thatthe possibilities ot this wise and be ¬

neficent policy are so great that wodesire to commend its adoptionthroughout the world-
